Full-timer insurance with Progressive...

I've stopped traveling for several years so I'm retweaking my truck/rig insurance. Progressive has me so confused.

Personal effects are just the items that have to do with living in the RV? Like electronics? Can't think of anything else that applies.

What is the full-timer insurance covering? $100K/$300K for example...I've taken very good care of my rig which is now paid off and would like to get something comparable in terms of replacement.

My rig is only worth about $15K at this point and I operate an internet business out of it and my product at any given time is worth at least $10K. How do I cover that? Renter's insurance is just mobile and manufactured homes...

I live in my rig full-time and have no other residence. Will I have to itemize all belongings? -- before or after "the event" (destruction/fire/flood).

I don't want to pay more than I have to but don't understand which options to choose.

I also have a $5000K mountain bike that I keep in the back seat of my truck.

thanks...

Maybe the agents are former RV sales people? :B

100/300 is liability.
Personal effects is jsut that. Everything that is not part of the RV as it is equipped.
High value items need to be itemized and insured separately unless the entire value is less than the personal effects coverage.

Business inventory is differnet and donโ€™t expect that to be covered in a loss event under your โ€œhomeownersโ€ policy.

Oh, and your $10,000 worth of product will no doubt require a separate commercial insurance policy.

Personal effects is anything and everything that you are carrying. Your clothes, your bedding, your cooking gear, your laptop and tablet, your cameras and lenses, your jewelry, your firearms . . .

Basically it has to pay to replace everything you might lose if your rig burned to the ground or something. It can be surprising how much stuff like this can add up to.

There is usually an upper limit per individual items, so if you have really EXPENSIVE jewelry, firearms, or cameras you need to make special arrangements with your insurance company to cover those items, probably for an additional fee. Your $5,000 bicycle is one such item.

If you want to refresh your memory about RV insurance issues, this is the best explanation of the issues I've seen.

Full Time RV insurance is very much a niche market. Dealing with agents and companies that SPECIALIZE in it is usually better than trying to deal with regular agents.

Miller RV insurance is one such specialized agency. There are others.

X2 on getting advice with an agent. You have several things that need adressed and a conversation about coverages. Keep searching an agent, not necessarily Progressive that will address them.

still, talk to your agent, or get another one.

the $100K/$3000K is probably your PL/PD....look it up.

and as for your bike, it is not a $5000K bike, that would mean $5,000,000. K=1000

what is your deductible? do you have special equipment that needs to be on a special coverage package?

They don't seem to be much help. It's astounding how little many agents know about their own product.
